Nexpose vulnerability scanner was using too much RAM to run locally on my laptop, so I got it a high performance VPS that well exceeds its requirements. The server has 18GB RAM, 3.3GHz CPU cores, and no other apps running.

It (kinda) works, but after only a day it has become unusably slow. In fact, the UI is mostly not responsive unless you know the URI path of the page you want and type it in.

It's not even running any scans or reports. I've tried restarting. Is there anything I can do to troubleshoot or help it work more efficiently?

I did run a couple of scans previously, but those have long since completed and actually the app was working much better before and during those scans than it is now.

Steps tried:

1. Restarting
2. garbagecollect
3. database diagnostics - did not show any problems

At the time of writing it shows 7GB of available RAM (out of the 18) and only 2% CPU usage.
